Rihanna’s Pixie Cut: She Was Ready For A Change

The singer debuted her dramatically shorter ‘do at the MTV Video Music Awards September 5—and her hairstylist reveals the reasons behind the short cut—get the details here!

Rihanna, 24, totally rocked the VMAs and her new brand new ‘do! Her longtime hairstylist, Ursula Stephan, told Us Weekly, ‘her latest makeover was a long time coming.’

“We had been talking about going short for a little while now and actually planned to do it the following week, but I just felt like, why wait? Let’s do it today!” Motions Global Ambassador Stephan told Us Weekly. “And Ri said the same thing. She was ready for her short hair again!”

To upkeep a pixie like Rihanna’s, Stephan advises wrapping the hair in a silk scarf at night. “Style with fingers using a cocktail of the Motions Radiating Gloss and shine enhancing pomade and you are ready to go!” she says.
